I was looking at this to lubricate a lightweight latex belt that we use, but I'm worried about the propellant damaging it. Is this latex safe?

I was worried about the propellant hurt a different kind of plastic so I spayed this lub on a rag then ran the rag over the plastic. It worked fine.

Yes it is safe on all rubber materials like latex, etc. The propellent evaporates very fast. People use this to lubricate rubber belts on very expensive radio controlled helicopters to reduce static. No damage to rubber.

This lubricant is mostly a solvent base spray with limited silicone so I would not recommend it. They have another water based silicone spray but after I purchased it, I found it also contained white lithium which is not rubber friendly. CRC has a support line, 215-674-4300, that you can call for product information. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

It should be able to handle oil-based stain, properly thinned per directions with the stain. I would not attempt to use latex paint with this gun.

I keep two of them in my kit (I'm a piano tuner). One has CLP which is a polymer lubricant / very fine. and the thicker Ballistol which is actually a mineral base gun cleaner that's used in piano applications. I don't think I've seen them leak yet and I've had them for months. Especially since I carry a vertical bag case and most of the time it's laying down on it's side along with the oilers. So I would say for most applications these work pretty good!

I have used wd40 ,and a liteweight machine oil and had no problems any lube is better then no lube have always applied wd40 to my guns to keep protected

I keep a jar filled with mineral spirits and just spray it through the sprayer when I'm done painting. Probably overkill for latex paint but at least I'm sure there isn't any residue left. When I first got the critter I tried to be sure the whole thing was clean. Now I only ensure the tube, the tip and the hole in the lid are clear. GarryG is right about the cork gasket. I ended up getting some heavy duty gasket sheet from the auto parts store and made my own gaskets. They're not as fragile and I've always got a spare if I need it.

Yes it wont harm anything and will help prevent gasket problems. Thats my experience.

I would assume so. I myself use it with the latex workout band/belt, that's when i see the BIGGEST difference. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I used it on my Beretta pistols which are metal and polymer composite. I'm sure it is safe but you might want to go to their website to be sure. I wouldn't even think twice to be honest i'd just get it on the metal parts, no point in lubricating the synthetic parts other than the receiver slide guides.

I would not recommend it due to an experience I had using this product.It contains two solvents. One of them, "heptane" is rather agressive and will eat into plasticsas it did on my bicycle when I used it on my chain. Some of it dripped onto the plastic chain protector ring and stained it.It would not rub off due to it's eating into the surface of the plastic.If your gun has plastic grips or accessories, I would steer clear of this product.FWIW, the list of uses shown on the product label does not include firearms.

Should not be a problem on any outside gasket or seals. Be sure to use in a very well ventilated area when using and always use gloves. I would not use on any interior items because of the fumes. It works very well on rubber of all kinds but has to be administered carefully.

I have used it to bathe my small dog. I know they mentioned it is food grade plastic but latex was not mention. I suggest you contact the manufacturer before you make your purchase.

i have used the little critter for years but never with latex. all of my work has been with varnish on small project and it works great. latex maybe a little heavy for this gun. here are some things you might try first. use just water and see if it sprays. if the gun is set up right it will work fine. if it doesn't try adjusting the brass vertical orifice up or down until you get a solid spray. also adjust your air pressure up and down..40-60 psi is a good range.

Absolutely. This is the lubricant used by the Military since Vietnam (all weapons were parkerized). I have used it as a professional gunsmith. It is the only lubricant I use.

I would not recommend this product for that purpose. I use it on the action of my AR-15. I have a slide fire stock and this stuff is great for keeping everything lubed

It's hard to find the right answer when it comes to airguns and lube. Many C02 and pneumatics have seals or plungers made of a rubber that breaks down if the wrong oil is used. Silicone is excellent for rubber parts, but not for metal to metal. So you can use a teeny bit of this on the tip of the CO2 cartridge to help seal it and prevent the seal from drying out, but that's the only place I'd put it. This stuff is way too expensive for that, so unless you have 100 guns I'd pass and get some for $5, like Crosman pellgunoil and/or rmcoil, or transmission fluid...

I'm sure you could use it for lubrication, it is a little thin in viscosity though.

Dear Mr. Gillian. Motorkote Hyper Lubricant was designed to protec against friction. Does not has any effect with leaks.
